Cupping Treatment

Cupping Therapy
拔罐

Cupping is an ancient healing therapeutic treatment that relaxes local muscles and fascia in order to improve pain and joint mobility disorders caused by chronic muscle tightness and stiffness. Suction from cups can provide effects such as clearing and activating the meridians in our bodies, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, and reducing tension.

Dry Cupping

Manually pumping air out of cups placed on affected areas in 5-15min rounds; to release muscle stiffness, relax fascia tension, and reduce pains.

Fire Cupping

​火罐

Using flame and heat to draw oxygen out of cups in creating a vacuum effect when placed on the skin; to draw up toxins, improve blood circulation, and ease pains.

Wet Cupping

Also known as bloodletting or hijama. Using needles to lightly puncture your skin before placing the cups; to release of toxins through the suctioned blood captured in the cup.
